Turning the Clock Back

Obvious mistake with a shifted roof - they're not fixed yet! However almost ready to work a local from Weston super Mare (S&D) to Glastonbury...

Thanks for posting, what other modifications did you make to the coaches, if any?

 

Cheers

 

Jack (helping with another SDJR project)

Sorry Jack I've only just seen this, and that by accident! The mods done are:

 

Bogies compensated with MJT frames, Airfix / Dapol frames stuck on, wheels 18.83 3'6" disk

Door handles and grab handles carved off and replaced by filed down dress making pins (for handles) and wire (grab rails)

Under frame detail added - regulator box fattened, cross bracing added to frame struts, checked for right way round-ness as above

numbers and class markings added, HMRS press-fix

Flush glazed with SE fine cast parts

Cards duckets windows carved out and PVA glazed 

Buffers sprung

Outer couplings of set replaced with Dingham, loop both ends (so I can run them either way, something I've not explained at all yet in my blog, like 'Why?')

 

I'd like to do 'First' and no smoking labels if I can (!)

 

Still need to fix roofs and do the internal coupling

 

Regards, Peter

Oh I did also use flush glazing on the interior corridor window and paint the interior

HRMS transfers for BR coaches do these as part of the sheet.

 yes I know they are on the sheet, but I think having fitted the windows and knowing how delicate the SE finecast glazing is I'll have to go very carefully applying them

Yes, better applied before fitting. Hindsight is most useful
